TOHO Bead Matrix (Pre-packaged items)

We've put together a list of commonly used matricies above. We've received excellent feedback from bead stores regarding this new way to display the beads. Once you are familiar with the Matrix view we encourage you to create your own. All Matrix searches can be saved and will show up on the search page. Often times stores will print the Matrix page, use it to check their inventory and then go back to the Matrix to place their order.

TOHO Round

TOHO round seed beads are manufactured under strict quality guidelines. You will find them to be superior to any other seed bead on the market, the reason why so many bead professionals use TOHO beads. You will notice that these beads have a large hole size for easier threading than other seed beads. This also means more beads per kilo.

TOHO Cubes

Cubes along with triangles are one of the most unique beads to TOHO; the quality is unmatched. Notice how the hole is not round but rather diamond shaped to allow the beads to lay corretly in a finsihed design.

TOHO Treasures (Cylinder Beads)

When you need precise cylinder beads for projects such as loom work you may consider the Treasure beads. The ends of these beads are flat as opposed rounded like the TOHO round beads. Myuki manufactures a similar bead called a Delica.
